A hatchback, or liftback is where the whole back of the car opens up (lifts up....including the back window), also the car usually slopes in the back,where as a coupe is notched in the back. The coupe has only a regular trunk where the window is above it and fixed in place. So basically if the window lifts with the "trunk" when you open it, it is a hatchback, or liftback (hatchback, and liftback are the same, Toyota uses the term liftback), and if the "trunk" opens without the window lifting also, it is a coupe.

SECOND USER ANSWER::

The interior is different as well.. especially the seating configuration as the hatchback had to be designed differently inside in order to still qualify under DOT and insurance specs to be rated as a "passenger" car instead of a "sprots" car. Coupe front seats slide a LOT farther back than the front seats in a hatchback and were designed in order to accomodate a rear seat in the hatchback to meet these specs. Rear side windows are different as well as is the fuel tank placement. Basically, from the front seats back, it is a whole different animal. I have owned both from various generations.
